Abstract

The American blockbuster Six Days and Seven Nights is a beautifully-conceived, well-performed and artistically- designed moving movie. It tells the story of a would- be couple Roben Monroe & her boyfriend Frank who decided to go on a long-awaited holiday in Hawaii in an attempt to increase the romance in their relationship and to have fun, love and happiness. However, to their surprise, right after their arrival at the destination, Roben was called away by her New York Dazzle magazine boss to manage to go to Tahiti so as to supervise a fashion event. She had no choice but to offer $700 for hiring the middle aged pilot Quinn Harris to fly her there in a dilapidated aircraft. Unfortunately, in their flight, they were struck by lightening and had to crash-land on the beach of an unknown island, damaging the landing devices of the craft.So out of touch with everybody, they two had to manage their lives there and then. After a series of misfortunes and mishaps, they forged a romantic relationship over this course, and finally become engaged. Whereas Frank, after a futile search for his fiancee,assuming that she was dead,and persistently courted by the big-breasted Angelica, cultivated their relations and slept with each other. Feeling deeply sorry and sorrowful for his shameful behavior, Frank confessed his guilty conscience to Roben who managed to fly back, but was finally rejected and dumped.This movie features the exotic landscape, picturesque panorama of views and winding action.The writer of the paper holds that it is of great significance and insight to review this film against this current complex backdrop of 21st century.Therefore, he attempts to analyze the movie from the following three perspectives: 1. the competent, skillful and richly experienced middle-aged man like Quinn is specially favored by young girls, particularly beautiful and elegant ones; 2. the young and inexperienced man like Frank usually can not stand the temptation and succumb readily to sexy girls like Angelica,hence undependable despite his enormous youth and resilient vitality; 3. by such arrangement of the fates of main characters, the director, in one way or another, has, more or less, the tendency of being a racist, to the writer's mind.
